What is Avg Technologies

Overview

The company offers subscription and perpetual licences for products such as AVG AntiVirus, AVG Internet Security and business endpoint solutions.

Where it is sold

AVG products are sold directly from AVG’s regional site for South Africa and via app stores and third‑party resellers.

What happens when you cancel

Access and features

When you cancel, your subscription will not renew at the next billing date.

You typically retain access until the end of the current paid period unless otherwise stated at purchase.

Data and account

Cancelling does not automatically delete your AVG account or product data.

If you want account removal or data deletion, contact AVG support through your AVG Account or the help pages.

Will I get a refund?

AVG direct and Google Play purchases

AVG offers a 30‑day money‑back guarantee for consumer products bought directly from AVG and for purchases via Google Play.

To request a refund via AVG for a Google Play purchase, provide the Google Play email and Transaction ID when you contact AVG.

App Store and third‑party resellers

Purchases made through Apple’s App Store or third‑party resellers (including physical stores) are not eligible for refunds from AVG.

Refund requests for those purchases must be submitted to Apple or the reseller. See AVG’s cancellation and refund policy: AVG cancellation & refund policy.

After the 30‑day window

Refunds are not normally granted after 30 days from purchase.

In limited jurisdictions (for example Quebec) pro‑rata refunds for annual subscriptions may apply; check region‑specific terms in AVG policy pages.

Documentation checklist

What to prepare before you cancel

• Order confirmation or receipt showing date and purchase channel.
• Transaction ID from Google Play (if applicable) or Apple receipt from App Store.
• Account email used for AVG purchases and screenshots of subscription entries.
• Payment method details (last 4 digits of card) and any correspondence with AVG or reseller.

Contact details to have ready

• Your AVG Account login information for direct cancellations.
• Google Play account email and transaction information for Play purchases.
• Apple ID and subscription screenshots for App Store enquiries to Apple.

Common mistakes

Assuming all purchases follow the same rules

Many users expect AVG’s 30‑day guarantee to apply to App Store purchases; it does not.

Always check the purchase channel - refunds and cancellation routes vary by channel.

Missing required documentation

Requests without a transaction ID, order number or the account email can be delayed or rejected.

Keep purchase receipts and screenshots to speed up refund or dispute processes.
